Chapter 134. The Weaver's Doubts and Gaze
Stark's body trembled violently, his back soaked in cold sweat. Even though he knew this was a possibility that might happen in the future, he was still filled with fear, his chest felt heavy, and he could hardly breathe.
He couldn't imagine, nor could he fathom, what kind of situation would lead the world down this path, where humanity ceases to exist, superheroes are gone, and endless zombies devour everything.
Even the Earth itself became strangely alive, with a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth splitting open from the ground and roaring as it rushed into the depths of space.
Stark couldn't even imagine what he would do after Pepper's death.
Compared to Stark's fear and panic, Steve appeared extremely calm.
Countless images flashed before his eyes; at most, his body tensed and his brows furrowed slightly.
He knew these were just possibilities for the future, not certainties. Besides, even if they did happen, so what? With precautions, couldn't he at least eliminate this abnormal timeline branch?
In battle, the worst thing you can do is lose your fighting spirit; the most important thing before a battle is to have the confidence to win everything.
Moreover, he didn't see his parallel universe self receiving the same blessing of light as his current self. For his current self to deal with abnormal timeline branches, wouldn't that be a dimensional reduction attack?
However, Steve was still quite puzzled, wondering how a parallel universe version of himself could become the Hydra Captain.
Not only did he toy with Carter's feelings, but he also went on to rule the Earth, enslave aliens, collude with dimensional demons, and become the ruler of the Earth, enjoying immense power and prestige.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see what caused it to turn out this way. Perhaps this was what Ji Yuan meant by higher-dimensional intervention, something he himself couldn't observe that altered the timeline.
However, Steve did glean some information from this: different timelines are different branches and parallel universes that evolved from different choices.
So the aliens he saw must also exist on Earth in his own universe, right? It seems Fury is hiding something; he's not exactly honest.
When I have time, I'll have to interrogate him.
Peter, on the other side, had a sorrowful look in his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and his shoulders were shaking, as if he had experienced immense grief.
At that moment, he finally understood what Spider-Man's destiny was.
What he saw was not just memories belonging to different Peter Parkers, but many memories belonging to Spider-Man.
From what he's seen so far, not a single Spider-Man has had a good ending.
Their lives are filled with loss—family, friends, confidants—an endless cycle of loss. Spider-Man is a solitary figure throughout his life, standing alone under the city's night sky, protecting the weak and upholding justice.
But who will protect Spider-Man?
Peter had no answer either.
During the brief moment of convergence, his mind was elevated to an incredible level, allowing him to see the web that enveloped all Spider-Men.
A web woven from Spider-Man's fate.
At the same time, you can also see the god who sits in the center of the web, controlling the fate of all Spider-Men.
But why?
Peter asked himself a question that came from the bottom of his heart: Why must Spider-Man be lost? Why must Spider-Man's growth come at the cost of sacrifice? Why must suffering fall on their heads?
Poverty, humiliation, and inferiority were the main themes for Peter before he gained superpowers. He didn't think of himself as a particularly noble person. He also had selfish desires, craved money and love, and wanted to bring a better life to his family.
But why did tragedy befall him? If it weren't for Ultraman's sudden appearance, he would have already fallen into the web of fate.
Uncle Ben died, Aunt May grew old in grief, her best friend Harry died by his own hand, and even Gwen and his father died because of his identity as Spider-Man.
Peter suddenly began to tremble violently, his eyes reflecting flames, the rage in his heart almost burning him to ashes.
Why should I be bound by fate? Why is Spider-Man the one whose fate is controlled? Why can't I control my own destiny?
Peter roared at fate for the first time, seemingly silently, but in fact, he had crossed countless dimensions and arrived at the top of the web, shouting a desperate question to the great weaver who controlled the web of fate.
"Why!"
The weaver, who had been slumbering in the web of fate for years, was awakened by this roar. It was a supernatural entity, a god of the multidimensional universe, the manipulator of the web of life and destiny.
He was somewhat puzzled. His position was not one that anyone could reach, let alone such a questioning and roar laced with murderous intent.
However, this greatly piqued his interest, and his consciousness followed the ripples of fate caused by the sound, looking towards the being that roared.
Soon, the Weaver saw Peter's figure, and his form fluctuated slightly: "Why—is the Spider-Man destiny in this universe being downplayed? This doesn't make sense."
"No, why is this universe like this?"
The weaver never imagined that he would one day be unable to understand the universe before him, a universe that was both outside of time and fate and at the core of the multiverse.
Furthermore, its material form is extremely unique, seemingly existing yet not existing; simply put, it appears to exist.
There is a kind of beauty in taking benefits without paying a price, and a kind of domineering attitude in accepting all good things while rejecting all possible costs.
"What's going on?"
The weaver felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed. There were some connections between the multiverses, so how could such a seemingly connected universe exist?
After leaving a mark on the universe, he turned his gaze back to Peter: "So he saw the future. The inevitability of the story has changed somewhat. Just erase this Spider-Man's memories of the future."
As the weaver pondered this, she stretched out a hazy thread, spreading from a higher dimension and slowly reaching towards Peter's head.
He'd encountered this situation many times before. Some cosmic wizards were like that, always wanting to peek into the future. Why couldn't they just accept the story as it is? He was merely ensuring the inevitability of the Spider-Man story; he wasn't actually weaving their stories. It was really annoying.
"You're pretty arrogant, aren't you? You dare to touch my men?"
The sudden sound caused the weaver's body to fluctuate violently, and his consciousness spread. He saw a humanoid figure of light and shadow in front of him that he could not make out in detail. The power it emitted made him feel suffocated.
"Who—who are you?"
The light and shadow did not answer, but coldly said: "Just do your own thing. This universe's Spider-Man doesn't need your stories."
"The multiverse can still exist stably without you."
"roll!"
